Changes in VirtualBox 5.0 Version:

Paravirtualization support for Windows and Linux guests to improve time-keeping accuracy and performance (see the manual for more information)

Make more instruction set extensions available to the guest when running with hardware-assisted virtualization and nested paging. Among others this includes: SSE 4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX-2, AES-NI, POPCNT, RDRAND and RDSEED

xHCI Controller to support USB 3 devices (see the manual for more information)

Drag and drop support (bidirectional) for Windows, Linux and Solaris guests

Disk image encryption (see the manual for more information)

VMs can now be started in separate mode. The VM process is started headless while the frontend runs as a separate process which can be terminated without stopping the VM.
